This book explores the under-researched theoretical and empirical intersection between organization studies and the medical humanities, highlighting cutting-edge work on complex healthcare organizations using methods and theories from the humanities.
Showcasing an emerging sub-field, this book begins by developing an original definition of the medical humanities and problematizing the relationship between it and organization studies. Looking at hospitals, national health services, pharmaceutical firms and professional healthcare bodies, this book explores constructs, variables and categories such as autonomy, centralization, efficiency, power, politics, conflict, subcultures, employment relations, quality improvement, participation, and managerialism.
Making a case for the important role that organization studies can play in the medical and health humanities, this book is a valuable contribution to students and scholars with an interest in both fields and healthcare management more generally.
